class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black chana is known as kala chana or black chickpeas in many parts of our country. It is a kind of chickpea with a deep, nutty flavor and dark brown to black skin cover. It is very much used in Indian cooking and a common name in health enthusiasts\u2019 diets for having a high nutritional profile. What values black chana is its high content of iron, fiber, protein, and other minerals. All these components are helpful in supporting muscle building, digestive health, and general health. It is commonly consumed as a dry stir-fry, in salads, curries, or boiled. Because of its low glycemic index, it is very beneficial for diabetics and those attempting to reduce their weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Black_chana_calories\"><\/span>Black chana calories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kala chana is a powerful plant-based protein source. It contains, on average, 19 grams of protein per 100 grams. For vegans and fitness lovers in particular, this high protein content is a great option for muscle growth, tissue regeneration, and general bodily function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orgoallnatural.com\/blog\/ashwagandha-shatavari\/\">Ashwagandha Shatavari<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kala_chana_nutrition\"><\/span>Kala chana nutrition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nutritional values of Chickpeas (per 100 grams):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Nutrient<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Amount per 100g<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Calories<\/td><td>364 kcal<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total Fat<\/td><td>6 g<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Saturated Fat<\/td><td>0.6 g<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cholesterol<\/td><td>0 mg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sodium<\/td><td>24 mg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Potassium<\/td><td>875 mg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total Carbohydrate<\/td><td>61 g<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dietary Fiber<\/td><td>17 g<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sugar<\/td><td>11 g<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Protein<\/td><td>19 g<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orgoallnatural.com\/blog\/almond-butter\/\">Almond Butter: Benefits, Usage, and More<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_health_benefits_of_black_chana\"><\/span>10 health benefits of black chana<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rich_in_protein\"><\/span>Rich in protein<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black chana is a fantastic protein source vital for muscle regeneration, immune system strength, and cell function. It&#8217;s a potent meat substitute for vegetarians and vegans. It is ideal for those who require more protein because consistent consumption encourages general growth and helps build lean muscle mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Encourages_digestive_health\"><\/span>Encourages digestive health<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The high dietary fiber content of black chana aids in constipation prevention and digestion. Fiber increases the volume of stool, which helps with bowel movements and supports gut health. It also enhances the general health of the gastrointestinal tract by encouraging the growth of good gut bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Helps_control_blood_sugar\"><\/span>Helps control blood sugar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black chana digests slowly and releases sugar into the bloodstream gradually because of its low glycemic index. This helps maintain stable blood sugar levels by reducing insulin spikes. It will be invaluable for people who already have diabetes or are at risk of developing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assists_with_weight_control\"><\/span>Assists with weight control<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black chana helps people feel fuller for longer periods and consume fewer calories overall because of its high protein and fiber content. It promotes efficient weight control, speeds up metabolism, and reduces needless snacking. It is a great option for healthy weight loss programs because of its high vitamin content and low fat level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promotes_heart_health\"><\/span>Promotes heart health<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black chana contains heart-healthy nutrients like fiber, potassium, and magnesium. These nutrients help lower cholesterol, improve circulation, and control <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orgoallnatural.com\/blog\/blood-pressure\/\">blood pressure<\/a>. Its antioxidants protect cardiovascular health overall and prevent heart disease by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Increases_vitality\"><\/span>Increases vitality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black chana, which is high in iron and complex carbs, releases energy gradually throughout the day. Iron helps avoid weariness by promoting the formation of red blood cells and the flow of oxygen. It is an excellent diet for growing children and active lifestyles since it provides a consistent energy source from slow-digesting carbohydrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orgoallnatural.com\/blog\/what-is-millet\/\">All about Millets: Benefits and uses<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Encourages_skin_health\"><\/span>Encourages skin health<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black chana is rich in antioxidants, including vitamins A and C, which fight free radicals and delay the start of aging. Its zinc component helps prevent acne and encourages skin repair. Regular application protects against environmental damage, maintains a natural glow, and balances skin tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Firm_bones\"><\/span>Firm bones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black chana, which is high in calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, is vital for maintaining bone health and density. These minerals help prevent osteoporosis and encourage the development of strong teeth and bones. Including black chana in the diet is beneficial for both growing children and the elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promotes_hormonal_balance_in_women\"><\/span>Promotes hormonal balance in women<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black chana contains phytoestrogens and B vitamins that help regulate hormones, especially in women. It can reduce menstrual and menopausal symptoms, preserve reproductive health, and increase fertility. Additionally, by lowering monthly blood loss and the accompanying fatigue, its iron content promotes overall hormonal well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enhances_immune_function\"><\/span>Enhances immune function<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black chana contains iron, zinc, and the immune-boosting vitamins B6 and C. White blood cell production, infection prevention, and the healing process are all aided by these nutrients. Frequent consumption fortifies the body&#8217;s defenses, increasing its resistance to disease and inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Protein_in_kala_chana_per_100g%E2%80%8B\"><\/span>Protein in kala chana per 100g\u200b<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">100 grams of raw black chana contains about 364 calories. These calories are mostly composed of complex carbs, protein, and a minor amount of fat. It is a nutrient-dense food that supports a balanced, healthful diet and gives you long-lasting energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kala_chana_recipes%E2%80%8B\"><\/span>Kala chana recipes\u200b<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kala_Chana_Curry_Punjabi_style\"><\/span>Kala Chana Curry (Punjabi style)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 cup kala chana (soaked overnight)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 chopped onion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tomato<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Green chili, as per your taste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp ginger-garlic paste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp cumin seeds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp coriander powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turmeric powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Garam masala<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp red chili powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fresh coriander for garnish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, pressure cook soaked kala chana with 3 cups of water.
